Protea Hotel OR Tambo Airport  

Very pleasant reception staff and excellent transport service from the airport. Nicely appointed room.

Tried to shower later in the evening and the water was bordering on coldI. The biggest issue was someone trying to come into my room at 2am. When I approached the door, rather nervously, from a deep sleep, was told he was checking vacant rooms for the following day's intake. He apologised and walked off. Had I not double locked my room, I would have had someone walking in on me. Reception confirmed that the room checking was legitimate but they had given the staff member the wrong list. Seems like a crazy time of the night to be doing room checks. Nice hotel but management need to sort these sorts of things out! Would give it another go, just

You should explain to guests the cost of transport, and how far away from the airport 200 Rands was a lot!

The location. The attempt by Malinda to help sort our some very real problems during my one night stay

The fact that I booked and paid for a double superior room on-line, but was put into a standard room instead. The fact that the heating/air conditioning unit was not working in my room.

We stayed here for 1 night following an evening arrival from Europe. We wanted somewhere close to the airport to get our heads down before travelling on to the Kruger National Park. Unusual design of reception and restaurant area, based on an airport warehouse was novel. Room was clean, modern styling, providing usual expected amenities for overnight stay.

The restaurant area seems to be almost a seperate enterprise to the hotel so that having had breakfast I was expected to pay there and then rather than at check-out. A little awkward since I didn't have my money with me at the time!!! The room while perfectly adequate was long and narrow rather than squarish, so a little 'tight' moving around.

Modern decor & practical layout of hotel is supurb. Great value for money & close proximity to the airport

Times for transfers to airport is not displayed prominantely & staff do not provide this information unless asked by the guests.

Breakfast variety was excellent

During the construction of the building the could have used double window glass to eliminate the noise level from the highway. Luckily I stayed there on the weekend

Close to OR Tambo airport. Excellent shuttle service with polite, helpful, drivers. Meal was delicious.

Arrived to find that the room I had requested in writing when booking, was not the room I got given. I had asked for a room facing the quiet side (not highway side), and was told that they did not have one for me.

The hotel staff are very friendly and professional. You get free day access to the internet if you book a room. The rooms are pretty clean, look very nice and fancy, and have good amenities. The location is also very good. Not really walkable from the airport, but only a very short shuttle service away (shuttles run every 30 min). Hotel also has coffee/tea always available, along with lemon or lime water... and marshmallows (which do seem a little out of place, but a nice touch anyway?).

This hotel is very close to the airport, giving a downside of lots of noise from airplane traffic. Other downside is that breakfast is not included, and the only breakfast they offer is a buffet for ZAR 145.00. That's a pretty expensive breakfast. However, the buffet is very very good.

Interesting Themed hotel within a short distance from or Tambo Airport.

Budget feel.

I liked the discounted price I managed to get through the web. I was very impressed with the airline associated decor, I liked the cargo boxes in the reception area as well as the gas mask in the bathroom. I was also very impressed that I could not hear the planes taking off or landing.

The hotel is impossible to access from the hotel, one requires a shuttle which takes a while to drive across to the hotel and back, the shuttle does not cater for very late or very early flights and although I could see the airport from my room, I was unable to get to the airport building without paying a significant fee for a 5 minute drive.

Convenience from the Jo'burg Airport.

Poor Service by Reception Staff. Wake up call not followed through on. Taxi request not attended to. Email confirmation did not show up on Hotel computer! Frustrating experience when already stressed in transit between flights. Web site gives no information on shuttle from airport.

Take it !!!
